Private access

Nobody finds your server, because there is nothing to find.

Every other host sells you a public IP and then sells you protection for it. We do not open the port at all, so there is no target to protect.

The difference

Same world. One of them is on the internet.

A public server is found within hours of going up, whether anyone is playing on it or not. Ours are not reachable from the internet, so there is nothing to scan and nothing to grief.

How it works

Four steps, and none of them open a port.

  1. 01

    You get the server

    Live on South African hardware, with console, files and backups from the first minute. No port is opened at any point in that.

  2. 02

    You add people by email

    Each player gets their own invite. There is no shared password to leak and no address to pass around in a group chat.

  3. 03

    They install one client, once

    They sign in, install it, and your server appears. After that it is the same as joining any other server.

  4. 04

    You can take access away

    Remove someone and they are out immediately. They cannot reconnect, because there was never an address to reconnect to.

Questions

What people ask before they buy.

Do my friends need to install anything?
Yes, one small client, once. They sign in, install it, and your server appears. After that it is the same as joining any other server.
Why is there no public IP?
Because a public IP is what gets your server scanned, griefed and DDoSed. Private access removes the target instead of selling you protection for it.
Can I make my server public later?
That is planned as a paid add on. It costs more because it carries real abuse and DDoS risk, and we would rather price that honestly than bundle it.
Can I get my files out?
Always. Full file access and backups from day one. It is your world.
How many people can play?
The player count listed on each size is what you get, from five on the smallest plan up to twenty on the largest. We do not sell you a server and then sell you the people on it.

A server only your friends can reach.
